Sean Curran put in a disgusting second half performance. Both teams really deserved better. No idea what a foul is, literally making it up as he went along. No one could buy a  free in the middle 15mins regardless of how bad the tackling was, then all of a sudden he started giving frees in complete contrast. This guy is well out of his depth

[I have watched the incident with Kerry keeper Ryan hitting McGuigan with his backside several times now and I still can't make my mind up whether it's a foul or not.]

That's the nature of sport and there will always be right and wrong decisions made by refs and always fans and even neutrals with different views on decisions. Some think Hurson is a great ref and some think he's brutal.

I have watched the incident with Kerry keeper Ryan hitting McGuigan with his backside several times now and I still can't make my mind up whether it's a foul or not.
With every incident I always try to look at it through the other person's eyes or how would I feel if the same thing happened to ne of our players.

I think it would do no harm for the GAA to try to educate fans in some way about how hard a job it is to referee a match, how they only get a second to make their mind up with no replays and that they try their best to not show any bias to one team over another. A lot of fans have never played the game or fully understand the rules.

On another note, is it time to follow other sports and let refs use the camera action to make a decisive call when they're not sure. Making mistakes is part of the game but would people prefer that to the ref stopping the game and looking for advice from another ref watching it on TV where he is more likely to make the right call, even if it takes a bit more time?
Obviously that can only happen in the bigger televised matches and not in club games etc.
Imagine the impact of that? Louth could have another Leinster title. Derry might be in an AI final. 

staggering, if you don't realise thats a stone wall foul.

Ah lads would you give over, the club season for 98 pf player in Derry lasts from the second week in April until early October, 6 months. That's it, 6 months. Give us games.

Secondly, the split season means you have to have a championship round robin format that allows county players some genuine game with the club where they learnt it all,  otherwise clubs will dig in on not allowing county players to to be away literally 9 months of the season if they don't get an opportunity to play more than one meaningful game with the club.

Was there a few Tyrone posters on here the past few days? 😂😂😂

Embarrassing from them

Not a clue. Derrys defence will smoother Cork. Its a funny auld game. Derry easily put Donegal to the sword and people saying Cork could win this game. Tyrone easily put Donegal to the sword and they are now all Ireland contenders lol.

Is Tally coaching Kerry this season?

Controversial opinion. Seanie Shea (as they like to call him) is hugely over rated (from open play). Tyrone will shut him down fairly easily. As for the other lad....where do ye even start!

Agree entirely re O'Shea

That second half was a good a performance as as team could want. It was brilliant from the lads.

I am able to watch the live games but can't get see past games, no idea what the problem is

Who were they missing. Saw them play twice and their main men were playing both times?

From memory Niall Holly, Barry McGoldrick, Lenny, both Mullans, Liam McGoldrick, blonde haired Daly (corner back), the other corner back (Lagan I think), Daly that plays midfield

Could have been more. Still had Sean Leo, Colm and Mooney..plus a few younger forwards who played well

Don't think Holly has played this season, Liam McGoldrick and Daly at cb aren't playing either, one working abroad and other can't play on medical grounds. Both Mullans retired I believe. Barry has been playing gls the past two seasons, seen him both games i watched. Not many left is there?

Another win for Bellaghy last night against Ballinderry. Cassidy has them on the brink of a league title, not that the tones were ever bothered about leagues.

If the trend continues into the championship - will it be case of their manager being coveted by others, possibly even in his old role as Derry manager?

Is this the same league table that Coleraine are winning, Steelstown are 3rd and kilrea are ahead of Swatragh and lavey?
No. I wouldnt put any stock into that.

I appreciate the compliment that Kilrea shouldn't be ahead of us 😎😘 Coleraine have no county players explaining their run, neither have Kilrea. Lavey have one county player absent as have screen who have two. Outside of Glen, Sneil and Magherafelt to a lesser extent although they have no county forwards, it's interesting. With the bottom two playing in a play off for relegation the league has been much more competitive. Unfortunately we are struggling. We have only Lorcan on the county panel. Its tight at the bottom

Geoffrey gone from Dungiven, it was kinda inevitable from the start. Brennan gone from us, the game has changed a lot in the past five years. The Derry league almost getting as bad  as the premier league for managers getting sacked 😀 Rory gone.

Any betting on who is next?

Its only grt for u, as you and he are from Glen.  Imagine training your bollix over the past 14 months to see McFaul play tomorrow. I'm certainly not saying he shouldn't be on the panel, we need all our best players available. But there's a way of doing things and hopefully Gallagher has a bit of sense and manages it properly. Having McFaul fit for the round robin is more important than ten minutes tomorrow and the potential unrest it could bring.

I would expect to see a few players walk after the weekend if McFaul gets game time. Simply wrong, booted off the panel due to his toxic behaviour and went to the states. What he did there is irrelevant. To make a comparison to the SON situation is funny farm stuff.

What else would the purpose of the project be other than to win. D4,D3, D2 and now into D1, with an Ulster title, an All Ireland semifinal and most importantly a young team to be backboned with more quality youth coming. Wtf is your idea of a 'project'?
